Da Mystery Of Chessboxin' Remix b/w Radio Edit Krash Slaughta

Edition of 200 YELLOW

Scottish rap ambassador Krash Slaughta kicks down the door with this rambunctious forty-five on his own imprint. We should expect nothing less from Krash who continues in his series of unfuqwittable heat rocks delivered on 45. On ‘Da Mystery of Chessboxin’ the producer invites the killer bees to his underground lab and the results will leave competitors scratching their domes wondering how he manages to deliver the grimiest, grittiest sound ever committed to wax. This one ticks all the boxes. Don’t believe us? Peep the preview below and head to the Krash web shop for the goods. Pressed up in killa bee yellow or black wax for the children. Destined to fly off the shelves, go cop doubles today. GO!
Review by Baz Hickey

There’s no mystery to this one, it’s another phat Krash Slaughta 45 remix – in this case of a Wu-Tang Clan classic to follow recent cheeky versions of Guru and MF DOOM on 7″. You may remember the original Da Mystery Of Chessboxin’ as an archetypal RZA production characterised by clashing sword samples and a skeletal piano motif with the grit coming from the ‘Clan’s vox and the crunch of the boom-bap drums. KS’s remix is utterly different – as we’ve come to expect – and sees him provide a beat that matches the energy of the original vocals rather than provide a counterpoint to them. Out go (most of) the swords and keys and in come guitars and furious scratching. Side B’s the radio edit, the A’s the ‘Full Phat’ version, cop it in black or yellow wax and remember – in the front, in the back, Killa Beez on attack!
